Wow! One review done in the UK says the Zetec Diesel Focus averages 58 mpg...and their highway best was 75 mpg! Now the Focus is a small car, but maybe the vanagon conversion could do better than 30? Bostig fellas...know anything about this engine? Anyone have a contact at Ford that could inquiry about future US models? Anthony '89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)
